Germany |

I've decided to dedicate a whole page to Germany since I've spent 13 years of my life there. |

Frankfurt "Messe". Frankfurt is the center of Germany's financial and economic activity. |

| Painted to look 3-D, houses in Garmisch (Bavaria) are given the illusion that there are ledges, sculptures, and people in them. On the left, only the actual windows and center sculpture are real. The house on the right only has one real window showing, and the people are fake. |

General H.H. Arnold High School, Wiesbaden. This is the school I graduated from, though I only went to it for one year. My first 3 years in high school were spent at Frankfurt American High School, in Frankfurt. Because Frankfurt's military facities were shut down due to the drawdown, all the remaining students had to commute to Wiesbaden. |

The Kurhaus in Wiesbaden. This building serves as both a banquet hall and a casino. The American high school in Wiesbaden conducts its graduation ceremony here every June. Located on the right side of the building, the banquet hall is very ornate, with marble pillars, velvet curtains, classic paintings on the walls and ceiling, and a balcony wraping around three walls. On the left is another banquet area, and the casino is located on the top floor. |

The Zugspitze, Germany's highest peak, located in the Alps. It sits on the edge of the German-Austrian boarder. On the other side of the peak is a glacier, which is used as a ski slope during most of the year. Because the glacier is not steep, this is the perfect spot for both beginners and advanced skiers, with a breathtaking view of the valleys and mountains surrounding it. |

Yes, all Germans dress like this. Everyday. It is uncalled for in German society to be seen without your lederhosen and feathered volksmarching hat. Keep thinking that. Stupid American. |
